Pumpido speaks about money troubles with Olimpia

ASUNCION, Apr 8 (SW) - Coach Nery Alberto Pumpido spoke about the money that Olimpia from Paraguay is claiming since he resigned last week.

Olimpia claimed 75.000 Dollars that has been paid to the coach in advance of one year work. That money is part of the 150.000 that he has been paid.

"I am very hurt by this; I didn't think that they were going to do something like this. I spent a week in Asunción trying to speak with the president of the club, Osvaldo Dominguez Dibb but he never answered. I wanted to talk about the economic fact. I left Olimpia because I didn't have any support from the president anymore, he left me alone. Besides all that, I wanted to resolve the financial fact with him before returning to Argentina but I couldn't find him."

Pumpido added: "The amount they are talking about and claiming isn't right. I haven't been paid the salary of March. The same goes for some money of presentation and a bonus for winning the Libertadores Cup last year. I don't deny what I have been paid besides that nothing has been signed, the most important thing for me was my word and the presidents word. I want to have a conversation with Dominguez Dibb and if I have to give back money I will do it without any problem."

On the other hand, Dominguez Dibb only said: "I am not going to talk to anybody. Pumpido, Ali and Marzo have to give back money because they have resigned."
